Servings: 8 Servings
Calories: 77kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ C pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoon brown sugar (light or dark)
- ½ C milk (skim or 2%)
- ½ C heavy cream
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small or medium saucepan and stir with a whisk. Cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer. Simmer for 1-2 minutes and then remove from the heat. Allow the creamer to cool for at least 5 minutes before using.
- Optional, but Recommended Step Prior to Using: Strain the pumpkin spice creamer through a fine mesh sieve before using to remove any pumpkin pulp. This will create a smoother creamer.
- Allow the creamer to cool to room temperature before storing. Store pumpkin coffee creamer in an air-tight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks. Shake (or stir) well before using to re-distribute the spices.
Notes
Recipe Variations and Substitutions
Make this into a sugar-free pumpkin spice coffee creamer. Replace the brown sugar 1-for-1 with pure maple syrup for a refined sugar free creamer.
Use half and half instead of the heavy cream and milk combination. This is an easy swap if you happen to have half and half on hand in your fridge. Doing this substitution will make your pumpkin spice creamer a smidge thinner.
Make it into a dairy-free pumpkin spice creamer. Replace the milk and heavy cream noted on the recipe card with your favorite non-dairy milk. I personally would recommend a barista blend oat milk for this option, but you can also whatever dairy alternative that you prefer! Since non-dairy alternatives will be thinner, I would recommend starting with ¾ of the amount of liquid listed on the recipe card and add more until your perfect consistency has been reached.
